Logitech’s Super-Slim Keyboard is a Must-Have for Steam Deck Owners
As a self-confessed Steam Deck tinkerer, I’ve found the on-screen keyboard to be a nuisance to use on the Linux desktop. That’s why I was thrilled to discover the Logitech Keys-To-Go 2, a super-slim keyboard that’s perfect for pairing with my handheld gaming console.
The Logitech Keys-To-Go 2 is the ideal addition to any Steam Deck owner’s kit bag.
Primarily aimed at tablet owners looking to write more than a few lines of email reply, the Keys-To-Go 2 is perfectly matched to an 11in iPad Pro – but of course, it’ll also play nicely with smartphones, laptops, and any other gadget that’ll accept a Bluetooth pairing request. Including a certain gaming handheld.
A Keyboard That’s Both Portable and Long-Lasting
The Keys-To-Go 2 is Logitech’s thinnest, most portable keyboard ever, and it’s also super-long lasting, with a coin cell battery that promises up to a whopping 36 months of use. This means one less charging cable to think about when traveling.

A Keyboard That’s Both Functional and Comfortable
The QWERTY keys are all a decent size and sensibly spaced apart, with only a few punctuation keys getting the half-width treatment. Key travel is 1mm, which isn’t an awful lot – but still a whole lot better than tapping on a touchscreen for tactile feedback. There’s a full row of function keys and Logitech has even found room for some half-height arrow keys, too.

A Cover That’s Both Protective and Functional
The built-in cover is only there to keep the keys safe while rattling around in your bag; it doesn’t act as a tablet or phone holder like the clip-on accessory bundled with the first-gen Keys-To-Go. Logitech reckons most users already have a case or cover with a stand, so decided to cut back on plastic use by skipping a dock here.
The built-in cover magnetically grips onto the keyboard when folded back on itself, adding the teensiest bit of elevation for a more comfortable typing angle.
A Must-Have for Steam Deck Owners
As a self-confessed Steam Deck tinkerer, the Keys-to-Go 2 has been a lifesaver. Physical keys make for much more accurate typing than a virtual keyboard, it makes tapping in SUDO commands much quicker, and means I don’t lose three quarters of the screen whenever I click on a text box.
